Simultaneous traversal: All Abyss difficulty.

Chapter 616 Ending the Pirate Era
Whitebeard's massive body was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string under the immense force of the Perfect Susanoo!

When that azure giant, hundreds of meters tall, swung its chakra sword, the trajectory of the blade even split the clouds in two!
"boom!!!"

The moment the Murakumogiri, wreathed in black and red lightning, collided with the Susanoo sword, dozens of blood lines suddenly burst from the white-bearded, bulging arm muscles!
The deck beneath his feet collapsed layer by layer under the reaction force, and the keel of the Moby Dick groaned under the strain.

When Susanoo's second sword strike landed, the spatial rift formed by the Tremor-Tremor Fruit was forcibly cleaved apart, and Whitebeard was blasted into the sea along with his sword, creating a wave that was a hundred meters high!

"Newgate!" Hawkeye Mihawk's black sword Night was suddenly drawn, and Fang Yu's figure descending from the sky was reflected in his golden pupils.

The world's greatest swordsman's cloak fluttered amidst the surging sword energy, and suddenly a longsword wrapped in lightning appeared in Fang Yu's hand!

The sword was forged entirely from lightning metal, and the leaping electric arcs ionized the air between the two of them, giving it a burnt smell.

"The greatest swordsman in the world?" Fang Yu pointed the tip of his sword at Eagle Eyes' brow, and the Thunder God Sword suddenly emitted a dragon-like roar. "I'd like to see what makes you so much stronger than me, a fellow swordsman! Take this!"

Before he finished speaking, the "Taiyi Exorcising Demon-Slaying Protective Spell" personally taught by Yan Chixia had already been activated! Fang Yu stepped into the Seven Star Steps, and the Thunder God Sword drew thirty-six golden talismans in the air, which was the sword technique he had just learned and put to use at Lanruo Temple last night.

The talismans grew longer in the wind, and in the blink of an eye, they formed a Bagua array that pressed down on Eagle Eye!
"clang--!"

The moment the Black Blade Night clashed with the Thunder God's Sword, the sea surface within a hundred meters suddenly sank!
For the first time, Hawkeye's usually impassive face showed surprise!
Although the opponent's swordsmanship was clearly crude, like that of a beginner, the force transmitted by that thunder sword made his tiger's mouth go numb!
"The Way, the Way, the Way, the Way!"

Fang Yu suddenly imitated Yan Chixia's tone and roared. As the sword blade slashed upwards, it brought out five phantom images of thunder dragons!
This was Yan Chixia's trump card, the "Xuanyuan Sword Technique," which was now being used by the Thunder God's Sword, making it several times stronger!
Hawkeye quickly retreated three steps to dissipate the force, and Black Blade Night danced in front of him, forming an impenetrable barrier.

But when the fifth lightning dragon crashed into the blade curtain, his carefully grown beard was electrocuted and turned charred! This usually elegant great swordsman finally changed his expression, and his golden pupils reflected Fang Yu's figure raising his sword once again!
The sea breeze suddenly stopped, and the air became still.

Fang Yu stood in the void, his hands forming a hand seal, and the Rinne Sharingan in his eyes shone brightly with golden light!
"Dragon roars to the sky!"

"Ten thousand swords return to the clan!"

In an instant, the sky trembled!

Countless green rays of light burst forth from Fang Yu's body, transforming into a sky full of sword shadows!
That wasn't ordinary sword energy, but "ten thousand swords" materialized from green light energy!
Each sword gleamed with a cold metallic luster, its blade sharp and crackling with electric arcs. They floated densely behind Fang Yu, like an army of swords that blotted out the sky!

"What?!" Hawkeye Mihawk's pupils shrank sharply, and he held the black sword Night horizontally, but a rare look of astonishment appeared on his face.

He had never seen such a sword technique before!

It's not sword energy, not sword intent, but the real "Ten Thousand Swords"!
"Whoosh whoosh—!"

Fang Yu flicked his sword finger, and ten thousand swords were unleashed simultaneously!

The rain of swords poured down like a waterfall, covering the sky and the earth!

Hawkeye parried with his sword, the black blade dancing in the night to form an impenetrable barrier, yet even so, several sword shadows still grazed his robes, leaving fine, bloody marks!
Hawkeye gritted his teeth, his eyes burning with even greater fighting spirit, "Kill!"

Just as Hawkeye was being suppressed by the myriad swords, a crimson figure suddenly broke through the Earthly Wraith's blockade!
"Gods, sir!"

Red-Haired Shanks roared, Griffin's blade crackled with Conqueror's Haki, and black and red lightning tore through the sky, heading straight for Fang Yu!
Faced with a strike that would make even the gods retreat, Fang Yu laughed arrogantly.

"Gods, begone! I will not beg!"

He clasped his hands together, and a dazzling blue ball of light condensed in his palms. The violent energy was compressed wildly, and the air was distorted due to the high temperature!
"turtle--"

"group--"

"gas--"

"achievement--!"

“Rumble——!!!”

Two world-destroying energies collided, causing the heavens and earth to change color!

The shockwave swept across the entire sea like a tsunami, with towering waves that swept countless pirates to the shore and scattered shipwrecks!
As the energy storm gradually subsided, the sea surface still churned with aftershocks.

In the center of the battlefield, Whitebeard knelt on one knee by the island.

Hawkeye Mihawk used his black knife to barely steady himself.

Red-haired Shanks knelt on one knee, looking blankly at Fang Yu opposite him.

And Fang Yu.
With all six paths activated, surrounded by the Truth-Seeking Jewel, the Rinnegan indifferently surveyed the three.

"I think you should know."

"I have one more trick up my sleeve."

"Big Buddha!"

"To die, or to retire into seclusion?"

"Give you a minute to think about it!"

Whitebeard gritted his teeth and stood up, saying, "Damn brat!" The world's number one man was preparing for another duel with Fang Yu.

Suddenly, Shanks stood in front of Whitebeard!

"slow!"

"Shanks! Get out of the way!"

"White Beard"

According to Shanks' Observation Haki, Fang Yu's "Great Buddha" move was no ordinary technique.

Before that overwhelming golden Buddha's hand could even land, it was already clear that the entire sea in the scene had cracked like glass!
Whitebeard coughed up blood and flew backward, his figure engulfed by the Buddha's light, while Hawkeye's prized black sword, Yoru, shattered into pieces.
Even more terrifying, the predicted radius of destruction continued to expand, and the horrified faces of the Red-Haired Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates distorted and vanished in the bright light!

Shanks suddenly chuckled, and Griffin slid back into its sheath with a clang. He turned to face the astonished crew, the sea breeze ruffling his tattered cloak: "Beckman, remember what you said when we first set sail?"

Before the first mate could answer, he threw his head back and laughed loudly: "You said, 'There has to be an end to being a pirate!'"

The Conqueror's Haki erupted suddenly, but instead of attacking the enemy, it shattered the gourd of wine that he had treasured for many years at his waist.

Amber liquid spilled onto the deck, reflecting his resolute gaze: "The Red-Haired Pirates—today, withdraw from the sea!"

Whitebeard coughed up blood as he propped himself up, and Murakumogiri plunged into the reef with a piercing sound: "Kurararar! Even Roger's straw hat successor has given up?"

He wiped the bloodstains from his beard, the glow of the trembling fruit flickering in his palm: "My children."

"Dad!" Marco flew over. "Let's do it again."

"Shut up!" Whitebeard suddenly roared, shattering the waves crashing behind him.

He gazed intently at Fang Yu, who was suspended in mid-air, and finally shouted:
"Newgate Fleet"

This overlord, who had dominated the seas for decades, released Murakumogiri and slammed his bloodied fist heavily into his chest: "We're going to turn back now!"

"Dad! We can fight again!"

"Dad! We can't surrender!"

Many of Whitebeard's captains expressed their fighting spirit, and even Fire Fist Ace suddenly appeared, wanting to challenge Fang Yu to a duel.

But Whitebeard gritted his teeth and threw a punch!
Boom——

That shockwave actually headed straight for his own fleet!
"Children!!!" Whitebeard's roar echoed throughout the arena, "My dream is that you can all live well!"

"Stop! So what if I bear the infamy!"

Then, Whitebeard looked at Fang Yu, "Gurararara~ The strongest person in the world is still just a human with only one heart, and one day he will have to face death."

"I have no attachment to the titles of Pirate King or World's Number One. Since you want to be the hero of this era, this old man here takes his final bow!"

"Dad!"

The entire Whitebeard Pirates were sobbing uncontrollably!

Hawkeye silently picked up the chipped black sword, Yoru. As his fingertips traced the cracks in the blade, he suddenly recalled the Mihawk family's maxim passed down through generations—one must respect the strong.

Hawkeye raised his broken sword to Fang Yu in a swordsman's salute, then turned and leaped onto a pile of broken wood, leaving without looking back.

Fang Yu landed slowly, and as he retracted the Seeking the Dao Jade into his waistband, the red-haired man was patting each of the crew members on the shoulder.

Shanks, with his arm around the weeping Yasopp, gave Beckman a relieved smile: "Time to go find Makino for a freshly brewed beer."

"Let's go, Captain!"

"and many more!"

Fang Yu suddenly stepped forward and blocked the redhead's path.

"what are you up to!?"

The Red-Haired Pirates' officers instantly became alert, their expressions showing a willingness to die, clearly terrified of Fang Yu.

"Don't get excited." Fang Yu shrugged, then looked at Shanks. "I have a favor to ask, simply put..."

"I want to learn how to avoid evil spirits."

With this, all four Emperors were eliminated, and the Navy was disbanded.

Only the guy sitting on the throne remained.
Im!
